Neuropathy diabetes
Hey! My father is a 65 year old man and he has had diabetes for over half of his life. Recently, he has developed some problems with the nerves and I fear it might be an indication of Diabetic Neuropathy. What do you have to say about this? He feels sharp pains and burning sensations in his feet and hand.
